Phoning it in

You might remember: Donald Trump didn’t much like Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server. (Nor did we.) Now the same man who pitched a prolonged 100-decibel fit over the secretary of state’s supposedly disqualifying decision to jeopardize national secrets by failing to safeguard classified information is in danger of being a walking, talking breach himself.

As Politico reported this week, President Trump has two cellphones — one primarily for calls and another for, natch, wee-hours tweeting.

And confounding White House telecommunications personnel, Trump refuses to rotate his devices out on a monthly basis, despite how suscep- tible they are to being hacked, tainted with viruses or otherwise compromised.

Why? It’s “too inconvenient.” If it sounds familiar, that’s the exact same excuse Clinton used when she disastrously set up the homebrew server rather than rely on the feds’ email infrastructure.

And Trump’s call-capable cellphone has a video camera, unlike the cellphones used by his predecessor. Given what hackers can do these days, that adds another layer of exposure.

We get that some swath of America appreciates the fact that Trump not only chafes at the constraints of the Oval Office, but writes his own rules. It sure would be nice if that defiance didn’t put national security at risk.
